12 week appointment

13 week belly, just slightly bigger

10 week belly, just poking out a little

Owen and I went to the doctor last week to hear his baby's heartbeat. We decided not to do any of the genetic testing this time (we had a few done with Owen and didn't have to repeat those) so there wasn't too much to do at this appointment. The nurse warned us that they might not find the heartbeat right away before she put the doppler on my belly but the instant she put it down there it was! Super strong at 161. The doctor said that my uterus is growing well and that everything seems to be right on track.

We go back to the doctor on November 21st for our 16 week appointment and then December 9th for our 18 week ultrasound where we'll find out what our babe is!

Are baaaaack (again) with a sweet new addition!

6 week bellies (we were blowing out...I think)

8 week baby!

We're pregnant again! I am currently 9 1/2 weeks and this sweet babe is due May 5th. We can't wait!

We had our first ultrasound on September 27th to find out that our baby is growing beautifully and has a strong heart rate. At this visit the heart rate was 151. We know that will change at every visit but it's interesting that it was so much slower than Owen's at his first visit (O's was in the 160s).

Here are the things I've noticed so far about the pregnancies:

Same:

I haven't thrown up yet and never did with Owen

I'm T.I.R.E.D. and was with Owen as well

I don't really want any meat - apparently I'm a pregnancy vegetarian

Different:

I'm nauseas more often than I was with O

I am having trouble sleeping at night but with Owen I passed out early and stayed asleep

I have bouts of extreme crankiness, almost like PMS symptoms

I don't have much of an appetite for anything. I've been eating lots of small meals each day because I just don't feel like eating much.....I've been eating a lot of PB and J!

I'm marking it down now that my prediction is that we're having a girl. I was right with Owen and I just think this one is a little lady. We will see sometime in December.

My next appointment is in 3 weeks and I'll try to update again then!
